SYDNEY, May 25 (Reuters) - AWB Ltd. (ASX: AWB.ax) , Australia's monopoly wheat exporter, said on Wednesday it expected the fate of disputed wheat shipments stuck in an Iraqi port to be settled in several days.
Iraq has refused to unload the last three wheat shipments under a one-million-tonne supply contract from Australia, its biggest supplier, because it says they are contaminated with iron dust.
Australia has said its own tests on the cargoes, currently at anchor off the Iraqi port of Umm Qasr, show no contamination.
"We hope it will be resolved in the next several days," Managing Director Andrew Lindberg told Reuters.
